Maximum Speed Issue in Formula 1 2023 Game - Seeking Feedback

Hey everyone,

I hope you're all enjoying the Formula 1 2023 game as much as I am! I wanted to bring up something I've noticed and see if anyone else has experienced the same issue.

During my races, I've noticed that my car reaches a maximum speed of 351 km/h. However, at this speed, the engine starts making a strange noise, and I'm unable to go any faster. I've tried various approaches, including slipstreaming behind the car in front of me, but to no avail.

This issue has occurred consistently across different game modes and with various teams. It's got me wondering if it's just a limitation in the game or if there's something wrong on my end. Has anyone else encountered this problem, or is 351 km/h indeed the maximum speed in the game?

I would greatly appreciate any input or experiences you could share. If you've managed to achieve higher speeds or have any insights on this matter, please let me know. It would be helpful to understand if this is an isolated issue or a common occurrence.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and happy racing!

Best regards,

PS4 pro

    @imaspes Most likely you have been driving a Mercedes, Aston Martin or Williams all the time you tested as those are limited by their gear ratio or rather the game not allowing for higher revs than 13k.. The strange noise is the rev limiter, you cant go faster than that, its a known issue at this point but i dont know if Codemasters will do anything about it

    @imaspes Its not about the engine its about the gearbox! McLaren for example also uses Merc engine but a different gear ratio (i think they build their own gearbox too irl) 🙂

    @imaspes I started my first career with Aston Martin and I noticed that my car topped out at 218 MPH (351 KPH). It felt like the 8th gear was set at the point it wouldn’t go any faster. I thought if I added some Engine and Aero upgrades maybe that would help and even with 5 of 6 Engine Power upgrades and 4 of 6 Drag Reduction and DRS from Aero there was no change.

    @MPHGp As i said its the gearbox.. Its limited to 351kph - which is about right for 13k RPM for real life Mercedes (AMR and Williams got a little different gearing IMO).. Problem is ingame the gearbox cant go over 13k rpm while they can IRL, hopefully this gets changed

    I have the same issue, but the car I use is the MyTeam car. You say it's the gearbox but when I watch Aarava's MyTeam series on youtube, he's able to go to 226 mph (363 kph) and he just runs out of straight it's not because the car can't go faster. So idk why this is an issue for me and others. (I use the Ferrari engine in my MyTeam if it has anything to do with it).

    @lJustMaxl First of all you shouldnt take anything going on in Aaravas videos as "normal" he is known to mod things and script stuff to make his videos, so making gears longer wouldnt be a problem.

    Regarding your problem it shouldnt happen with a Ferrari engine, could you describe more what exactly happens?

    Yeah sure. Well, there isn't really much to say other than when I drive on power tracks where the cars reach high speeds my MyTeam car just tops out at 351 kph which I think is very strange. Mostly I hit 351 quite easily and then it just stops. Even with DRS, ERS, and slipstream.

    Also as the first guy mentioning the problem said, it makes weird noise when it hits 351 kph like the engine sound is completely different.

    Thanks to you for trying to help 🙂

    @lJustMaxl Yeah thats definitely the Rev limiter, its exactly that sound you hear thats so weird and different..

    Are you sure you picked the Ferrari engine and not accidentally picked Merc? Should theoretically only affect those cars and if its also affecting other then something is really going wrong.. I will probably check the latest patch files for car performances tomorrow if they somehow switched it up (currently dont have them as a back up) but definitely weird if you really have the Ferrari🤔

    Now you make me question myself. I will check up on it tomorrow and you'll hear from me then.
